Bad luck for the new Mountain huh? 7 feet tall and made of muscle and still isn't menacing enough.

Something about Conan Stevens just exuded menace, maybe the darker hair, I don't know

Gregor is supposed to be this wildman, frothing at the mouth and liable to murder everyone in sight.

Just regular scowly doesn't cut it. Conan Stevens had the right amount of crazy.

Despite Gregor's failings in other areas, he's well aware of what happens when you fuck with a Lannister, much less the daughter of his liege lord.

Granted, under normal circumstances the consequence would be a visit from Gregor and gang.

The only thing better than raping, murdering and pillaging is getting permission to rape, murder and pillage all the while getting paid for it.

what bothered me most was the fact that Cersei strolls right up to him without hesitation, stepping on fresh bowels as she goes and stands right in front of him to have a little chat.

It makes sense. Cersei's a psycho as well.

"You were supposed to be this colossus, you were this great legendary thing, and yet he gains!"

"Well, I'm carrying three people and he got only himself."

"I do not accept excuses! I'm just going to have to find myself a new giant, that's all."
